Brace yourself, Winter commute is comming

[LeanBurn]

+15C where I live yesterday...we had another super mild winter this year, 1 week of -20C (the only week I ran my winter tires) a few snow falls but it all melted away a couple of days later...

Warm temps and no snow make all the difference.

Looks like we're still getting winter here in Syracuse. I was hoping to pull the snow tires off this weekend ... but that's not going to happen, unfortunately
